  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Peanut Butter Crumbs:
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • For the Pie Filling:
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional Topping:
  • Whipped cream, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Peanut Butter Crumbs: In a small bowl, mix peanut butter and powdered sugar with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Pie Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually add milk, whisking to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Temper the Egg Yolks: In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks. Slowly whisk a few tablespoons of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, then slowly pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Continue cooking for 2–3 more minutes until thick and smooth.
  4. Finish the Filling: Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Sprinkle half of the peanut butter crumbs into the bottom of the baked pie crust. Pour the warm filling over the crumbs and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumbs evenly over the top.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • If you want to make this pie even richer, add a layer of chocolate ganache under the custard filling for a chocolate peanut butter pie twist.
  • You can make the pie crust ahead of time or use a pre-made one for quicker prep.
  • For a lighter dessert, top with a dusting of cocoa powder instead of whipped cream.
